Meet Shawn
My name is Shawn Arbing, and I am a lifelong resident of Prince Edward Island. I proudly served for 27 years with the Prince Edward Island Regiment, during which I completed operational deployments, including the clean-up operation following the Swissair Flight 111 disaster, a deployment to Bosnia with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), and a tour in Afghanistan with the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment (2 RCR).
I retired from the Canadian Armed Forces in 2015 and currently serve as the Manager of Security and Intelligence with the Department of Justice in the PEI Provincial Government.
Outside of my professional life, I’ve been an enthusiastic beginner fly fisher and fly tyer for the past seven years. This hobby has become a meaningful way to connect with nature and unwind. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow in this new hobby, while connecting with fellow veterans and first responders, and supporting them on their journey.
